The Democrats had my support

Ever hear of the Tea Party - the first one?

Were they our founders who were burning and looting? No, they weren't. They were a group of Boston colonists who were against unfair taxation by the British.
 
25,000 people are hard core White Supremest activists....that is enough to stir up a **** ton of trouble. There are 300 organizations and nearly 200,000 people subscribe to racist white supremest publications and attend marches and rallies.

Into the Abyss: White Supremacist Groups/Gangs

Nobody is going to say white supremist groups are not a problem.
Where are you saying that violence and crime committed by blacks in alarming numbers relative to percentage of population are a big problem?

The whole truth would be a breath of fresh air.
 
The Democrats had my support when they condemned the police killing of George Floyd.

The Democrats lost my support when they allowed the looting and firebombing of our cities.

And now the Democrats condemn the president for wanting to send troops to protect our cities and people.

What an interesting conundrum when the democrats "lose you" by being too lenient towards people who are protesting unneccessary force and that drives you into the arms of the fascists who created the problem.

Maybe you should consider yourself unqualified to make a moral choice here if you're not honest enough to consider the facts fairly.

Right, in that day you'd have condemned the Americans as thugs and looters, and agreed the British were right to use force to restore order over those vandals and hoodlums interfering with legitimate government imposed by the British, and I'm sure supported the Intolerable Acts, meant to punish the thugs and looters and vandals.

FWIW, the Boston Tea party wasn't so much about taxes as it was about crony 'capitalism' with the EIC given a monopoly over tea sales to the colonies, would have ruined the thriving businesses of local smugglers of tea, and also granted a few highly placed politically connected merchants with exclusive rights to sell that tea, bankrupting the other tea sellers.

Don't pretend you can speak for me or deflect away from what you originally wrote and my refutation that proves you wrong.
You'd be best to open a history book than :bs your way through this.

Your refutation showed your ignorance, which we know when you blamed the protest in "unfair taxation." That was simply not the core issue motivating that band of thugs and looters and vandals destroying $millions in tea. If you'd like to prove me wrong, have at it. You'll fail.
 
Failure to take adequate steps to prevent riots. An 11:00pm curfew is not a reasonable nor adequate step. Refusal to bring National Guard troops into NYC to protect businesses and citizens is not reasonable or adequate. When the Governor of NY says he may have to displace the Mayor of NYC there is obviously a big big lack of meaningful attempts to stop the violence and destruction. That lack is what allows it to happen. I'm sure you already knew the answer but refusing to recognize the problem is part of the problem here.

Not sorry, but I'm still back at a proven corrupt president having the charges whitewashed by a criminally corrupt and treacherous republican Senate. Which I'm just as sure you already know the answer to that, but refusing to recognize the corruption is complicity in the corruption. You'll excuse me if I laugh bitterly at your present accusations.
 
Not based on the news reports that I've seen. There are National Guard troops all over the freaking place.

Cuomo reemed De Blasio a new one for refusing National Guard assistance. Update yourself.

So you Repugs based your opinion on what's going on in one ****ing city?

Dishonest and stupid, as always.
 
Yep, the crazy MSM likes Antifa. too. These people are clinically insane.

Yes and few realize it

Even though it is incredibly obvious

Weird....what is happening in this country

Then again....not so weird

If u can murder a helpless child

What will u not do?

The Dems never had your support, your tunnel vision says you did not beieve they wanted to change world Together. Those marching FAR outnumber the Rioters. If some radicals diverted your from the message, you never got the message to begin with. Kinda sad...

And worse still is that Judy Woodruff of PBS has kept complaining about the death of Floyd in Minnesota yet not a word of remorse that the black cop got killed guarding a store. His black life does not matter to PBS news.
 
The Democrats had my support when they condemned the police killing of George Floyd.

You had my support for the truth in your first sentence.

The Democrats lost my support when they allowed the looting and firebombing of our cities.

You lost my support with the lie in the second.
 
If u can murder a helpless child

What will u not do?

If you will murder thousands of Americans from pollution for profit, if you will murder thousands of Americans not taking precaution against the virus for profit, if you will murder thousands of Americans denying people healthcare, if you will kill and support killing of thousands of people unjustly in Yemen, Palestine, refugees

What will you not do?

Unfortunately, the issue is losing steam. Protesting has kind of jumped the shark in my area. I swear, there were a lot of protestors but the majority of them were white.

When we see a spike in the virus and news comes out of people dying because they caught it at the protests, the news cycle will change.
 
I use to be a Democrat until the Democrats became super liberal I started listening to Faux News and Lush Rimbaw 24/7.

Fixed it for you.

So the Democrats regained your support for, what, 48 to 72 whole hours? I am glad you came to your senses, CherubRam! Best tie yourself to the mast, lest the siren song of the Democratic Party cause you to leap off the boat and into the abyss.

It's not going on in just one city. It's going on in DOZENS of cities.
